Beighton Owl 87 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 If we ever got him in he needs to start referring to us as Wednesday not Sheffield. Gets right on my nerves that. Anyway once a pig always a pig so no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce,words don't even belong in the same sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimisticowl Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Had Steve Bruce replaced Carlos, then I’d have been happy, but he didn’t, so I’m very happy to support Jos who has managed to get star performances out of previously written off players.

Quist Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Bruce had excellent record until took over at Villa. Exploited loan market well and usuallly made astute signings. He got things badly wrong at Villa had a side way too old to get out of Championship and club are in mire. Always liked the guy as manager but suddenly does not look the proposition he was before going to Villa. One of the few who can repeat success but at the moment only an idiot would ditch current incumbent for someone else which would certainly not help current financial straight jacket we are currently in.

If we are serious about promotion we should be crawling over brken glass to fetch him in before the season starts. Thanks for keeping us up Jos. I was waiting for this thread...

bigdan2003 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I like Bruce. But haven’t they spent like 90 million since 2016 plus the daft wages they’ve been handing out. I think he’d be expensive and not right for us at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality manager with stacks of experience in getting teams outof the division. Rather than an unknown quantity Becoming a journeyman. With all of the talent at his disposal he couldn't get Villa into the automatic promotion places. The turmoil they were in - was that the same turmoil as having the first team in the sick bay.

No good at Wednesday in any event, we haven't a pot to pish in and Bruce is fvvcked without a pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I really can't believe the amount of tripe and Shiite being posted on here about the need for Bruce. Look at what our 'unknown' manager did with a 1st team squad injured etc etc and some still want want that busted face fuucker here. Jesus.

morley Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Fortunately Bruce wouldn't come here, our cheque book's not big enough. I say fortunately because Bruce has a history of when the going gets tough, he gets going and believe me it's going to be tough next season if we can't bring in 2 or 3 new players just to freshen things up and add a bit of enthusiasm to the squad.

bigash_swfc Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Might surprise you; But yeah, looking at our prices, I'd want "The best possible chance at promotion" So get Bruce and give him 20m to spend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
